The Vulcanair V1.0 is a light aircraft originating from Italy, engineered and manufactured by Vulcanair based in Casoria. It made its debut at the 2014 AERO Friedrichshafen exhibition. This model holds type certification from both the European Aviation Safety Agency and the US Federal Aviation Administration, and is delivered fully assembled and ready for operation.
Its design traces back to the Partenavia P.64B Oscar platform.
Design and development
The V1.0 is designed with a strut-braced rectangular wing mounted high on the fuselage, featuring an enclosed cabin that accommodates four occupants. Entry is provided through two front doors and an additional door for rear-seat access located on the right side. It utilizes fixed tricycle landing gear equipped with wheel pants and is powered by a single engine arranged in a tractor configuration.
Its forward fuselage consists of welded steel tubing, while the remainder of the airframe is constructed from sheet aluminum. The wing, which spans 10.0 m (32.8 ft), incorporates flaps to enhance lift. The standard propulsion system is the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming IO-360-M1A, a four-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected four-stroke engine.
The overall design closely mirrors the Cessna 172, aiming to rival it both in terms of performance and cost. In July 2017, the manufacturer announced a fully equipped price featuring a Garmin G500 avionics package at US$259,000, strategically positioned below the cost of a new Cessna 172.
Certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency was secured in November 2013, followed by approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration in December 2017.
